| $1 SNGs are fine - your bankroll should be able to handle that. I'd stay away from the turbos though. You're going to want to stay at $1 until you have at least $40 in your BR, and probably should wait until you have $60 for some cushion. You don't have enough to play any MTTs (except the micro ones on PS), certainly not $4 ones. That's just gambling again... you don't want to do that, right? |

The game's still the same, you start every day and every session on +/- Zero, so you'll have to forget about past losses that you can't get back. |

I admit that I made an error here, in offering advice where it wasn't requested. In 2 hours you went from "I'm quitting poker" to "I have confidence in my ability". I understand completely - I've been there. The problem is that for me, it went hand-in-hand with losing the remainder of my BR almost immediately. I was really just hoping (and still am) that you don't have the same experience. Good luck, I hope you can beat the odds |

| re: Bankroll Blowup poker I also lost my bankroll this weekend, so I bit the bullet put another 10 dollars in and am now up to 20 by playing 45 man 1 +20 sngs. I lost my br by playing above my BR limits while extremely low. Wasnt as big a loss but I was just about to become a player in profit. Im sort of glad I done it now though It was a harsh lesson and I have already learnt a lot. Anyway Gl with your 20 dollars spend it well and hopefully soon you will be back up there. |

| re: Bankroll Blowup poker Switch is trying to say that you never want to have that mindset. Rather than thinking "time to win my money back", you should be thinking "time to build a bankroll". When you have the first mindset, you will begin to deviate from your normal, money-winning play. You will begin to make plays that you believe will help you "regain your bankroll". Rather than getting your money back, you are losing the money that you already have by playing poorly. |

| Deposit $500 and play a HU match for that. And then if you lose put $1k on and play a $1k HU match. Just keep going until you're up overall or you've lost like a million bucks and there's nothing higher to play. Then just cry. But in all seriousness looks like you're doing well. The $400 is gone. It'll always be in the back of your mind but do your best to forget about it. You can't control the past. You can learn from the past and control the future though. Work on doing that and good luck . |

| I have a suggestion for all of us! Me included.... get some professional help because we are addicted.... and the sad thing is that the poker sites know it and will continue to deliver rigged bad beat after bad beat because we keep renewing our bankroll. Online is too easy and they know it. I don't play my cash online anymore. Only at a casino and although I still get bad beats.. and do my share of suk outs.... I am up on my bankroll. Reality bites! |
